Zooplanktons Density of Rapti River at Nepal in Different Seasons

Abstract

The present study carried out observe zooplankton diversity, density and distribution the Rapti River in different seasons. It is found in the present study that Zooplankton species distribution shows big spatio temporal variations due to the different hydrographical factors on individual species. Consequently, the summer period must be considered as the most important season for pelagic secondary production in the Skagerrak. Thus, the traditional belief that the spring bloom represents the most important season for fuelling higher trophic levels such as fish should be reconsidered.
